![[Listen] Dude York: "Fuck City"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4286175_lg.jpg)
Cuando una banda compuesta por tres tipos que se hacen llamar Dude York y tienen titulos en sus canciones como "Fuck City", puede que estemos ante algo bastante bueno con lo que nos estaremos divirtiendo durante un muy buen rato o al menos, en el tiempo de duracion de cada uno de sus tracks como los que estaran apareciendo a lo largo de su nuevo EP titulado "Escape from Dude York" el cual estara saliendo a la venta de manera oficial este proximo 10 de Julio a traves del sello The Sound of Sweet Nothing y como la [...]
Remember when we said we'd share our list of 25 other unmissable records the first week of January? Whoops. Thing is, the first month of this new year, we were still listening to and falling in (and out) of love with records from 2011. Discovering albums we should've shared months ago and finding out what [...]
The Golden Blondes ::: photo by Abbey Simmons Despite my mother's worries about me hanging out at bars most nights a week for concerts, the truth is what I do at night is not very rock'n'roll and there's nothing for her to worry about. While I enjoy concerts very much, I treat them like work. I [...]
Last year's birthday was a big one, thirty, and we had a party to match the occasion. The Moondoggies (performing as the Allman Butters), a Tom Petty sing along with American Girls, Pickwick standing all but on top of each other to fit on the Blue Moon stage and Kelli Schaefer helped Josh and me [...]
2011 wasn't just a great year for local full-lengths, awesome releases abounded in all formats: EPs, 72's and yes, even cassettes. In fact, Phil's favorite local release of all of 2011 was Mercy Ties and Grenades split 12". Here are 15 of our favorite local EPs, 72's and cassettes of the past year and our [...]
Kelli Schaefer ::: photo by Dylan Priest Having fallen deep down a used-vinyl sized hole this year, I managed to completely miss most of the national blog buzz bands and mp3s making the press release copy&paste rounds of 2011, those things that so often fill end of the year lists. But considering the immense output from [...]
BEST OF 2011 : Songs | Albums (soon) | EPs/Singles | Discoveries/Heavy Rotation | Photos A really good year! The first 40 or so are mega-jams and the latter 38 (Rawkblog loves you, baby) are still jams. I purposefully left out songs by Destroyer because I couldn't decide, so consider Kaputt represented. You can play the entire page with the handy Ex.fm player in the bottom right corner, stream the playlist on Spotify and Rdio , and download everything after the jump. [...]
Damn Dude York, save something for 2012. The slurring, sloppy toe-tapping trio, and one of our favorite discoveries of 2011, just shared their brand new album Dewark. Their third release of the year (one EP, two albums) is made up of "live mainstays" and "heavy numbers. no tributes, nothing nostalgic." If you have seen Dude York [...]
Nothing has enchanted me more in October than this video of Noah Gundersen and his siblings covering CSNY's "Helplessly Hoping," one of my favorite songs of all time. This frills free cover takes full advantage of the reverb of the room and the Gundersen's familial honeyed harmonies accentuates everything I loved most about the original, [...]
Pipsisewah ::: Photo by Josh Lovseth Surrounding the re-release of Nevermind and the PJ20 anniversary there's been a whole lot of navel-gazing about what "grunge" means for Seattle's rock sound right now. While there are many ways of answering the question of what it all means, I largely agree with the survey of artists done by [...]
Dude York ::: Photo by Josh Lovseth To be honest, the notion of Seattle's music scene taking over Ballard for a Saturday doesn't sound far from a normal Saturday, but when all-ages are dropped in the mix and the Eagles Hall, the NY Fashion Academy, the Volterra Drawing Room, and car dealerships are part of festivities, [...]

Reverb is just our kind of music festival. Its purely local, its mostly about the little guys and with over 70 bands for just $15 ($10 for under 212ers), it is the cheapest festival in town that isn't free. Sure, there's no international headliners, but the point of Reverb is to show we've got the [...]
For our October bill we wanted to bring you something a little different: some sloppy swagger served with a side of straight up rock and roll. Some new bands for us to talk about and a chance to share the songs we've been playing so loud lately the windows have been shaking and the new [...]

Seattle act Dude York plays wild, flailing rock 'n' roll music, all glam guitars and busted microphones. "David" sounds like Bowie himself fronting the Exploding Hearts in a whirlpool. Analogies! But seriously, though. Dude York - "David" : mp3 (Hear more on Bandcamp )
